COMBINED CAP-SCABF.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lonrs H. ENs'rEN, citi zen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Oayahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined CapEScarfs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a combined cap and scarf, and the object of the inventionis to provide a ca with angular flaps at each side, together with a broad band stitched to a ed to provide a depending peak for the'cap the angularly-related edges of the flaps at the back of the cap, and with separate long pendent ends at the front of the cap. The cap is preferably made of knitted fabric, and particularly constructed to fit the head, ears, neck, shoulders and the chest of the wearer in a snugand trim way, and when the pendent ortions of the cap are crossed the effect and appearance as a whole is that of a helmet, but the cap isamore easily put v0n and removed than a helmet.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a rear view of. my improved cap and scarf flattened out and with the scarf ends unfolded and distended. Fig. 2'is a side view of the cap and scarf also fl-attened out with thescarf ends extending in the same direction substantially parallel to each other.

Fig. 3 is a front view of the cap with the scarf ends crossed and as the cap and scarf would appear in use on the wearer.

' The ca comprises a head-piece --2- made of itted fabric which is formed at one border edge. with a small triangular projecting portion 3 and a pair of larger triangular portions 4 and 5. Part 3 is adaptand the larger portions 4 and 5' provide angular flaps adapted to cover the ears, and in,

making the cap the ends of a piece-of knitted fabric are sewed together to form a vertical seam at the back of the ca Other seams are formed at the top of t e cap to give it an ovate shape, and the head piece 2 1s preferably made out of a single flat strip v of knitted goods having angular or scalloped border edges, whereby the top of the cap may be sewed together and closed, and the bottom portion of the cap may remain open and have the shortpeak 3 and the two an ar flaps 4 and. 5.

he straight border edges 6 and 7 at the rear side of the cap, whlch form the backedges of the two flaps 4. and 5, respectively, diverge from the vertical seam 2 in the form of an obtuse angle, see F ig. 1, and by Specification of Letters Patent. 1 I Patented], Sept. 23, 1919.. Application filed April 30, 1919. Serial No. 293,661.

sewing or stitching the straight edge 8 of a straight flat band 9 of fabric (preferably knitted) to the diverging edges 6 and 7 at a point mid-length of the band, a neck covering is obtained which will round out and conform to the back of the neck and also to the shoulders of the wearer Without a wrin? kle or crease; and further, the free ends or extensions 10 and 11 of this added neck piece -9 may be crossed at substantially right angles to cover the front of the neck and the chest. of the wearer. The angular formation of the bottom edge of the head-piece 2' necessarily produces a fullness "or fold 12 midlength in a straight band 9 when the indicated, thereby giving the desired fit, and when the Complete article is folded flat as band-is sewed to the head-piece on the lines I shown in Fig. 2, the band or scarf projects downwardly and rearwardly at an angle to the head-piece and the free or endent ends 10 and 11 extend downwan y and for-' wardly on parallel lines but at right angles to the front border edges 14 and 15 of the triangular flaps 4 and 5, respectively.

Each extremity of the band or scarf 9 may be ornamented by afringe 16 substantially as shown, or any other suitable ornament may be used to adorn and finish the ends. A button or snap fastener 17 mayalso be used tosecurethe overlapping portion of the band together and the pendent ends of the scarf may be of any desired length.

What I claim is:

1. A cap having flaps at its sides and a neck piece comprisin a relatively wide flat middle and having free extremities extending forwardl and downwardly at an angle at each side of the cap and adapted to fold flatwise across each other.

2. A combined cap and scarf'comprising a head-piece of knitted fabric having angularly shaped flaps at each slde and a supplemental band for said flaps terminating in separate relatively long and flat pendent extensions at the front side of the cap.

3. A combined cap and scarf, comprising a head-piece having triangular flaps at each side, and a straight band of fabric afiixed to the rear edges of said flaps having free pendent extremities extending downwardly and forwardly at an angle at each side of said head-piece.-

4. A cap of flaps with straight border edges extending on angularly-related lines to the middle line of the hack of the cap, and a straight fiat hand of fabric stitched at one edge midway knitted fahric having sideof its length in the angle ef said harder edges at the hack of the cap and terminating 10 Ouyahoga, and State of Ohio, this 18th day of April 1919.
